Current EOL time is february 2013 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html JDK7 is supported with AS7 but still depends on platform are your running it might not be recommended, for instance currently jdk7 for macosx has few terrible bugs in nio impl that prevents most of communication(remoting) in as7 but can be somewhat workaround. as for what jdk to download, use Java 7/6 SE JDK, other oracle options (EE*) are just extra download with some ee components / tools that are needed to run app server. -- tomaz -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/758035#758035] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS 7 Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
